Column Buckling Effect:

• Key to pressure redistribution qualities of EquaGel cushion is the column buckling effect
• When a certain amount of pressure is applied from the top to a column:
  • it collapses
  • user weight shares across the adjacent columns
  • user sinks into the cushion
• Elastic quality of the gel helps the columns to reform to their proper shape
• This provides an upward force and prevents bottoming out
